I’m Suzy Barker. I love to write and I adore photography. Oh, and I should mention – I’m an eternal optimist. My cup is always half full. Welcome to my website.

Almost bare

What a glorious autumn we’ve had. The colours have been amazing and the leaves have hung on right into December, mainly because we’ve not had any really adverse weather conditions to blow them off or wash them away.

The season has provided some spectacular photo opportunities; the shot above was taken recently at daybreak on a frosty morning. It’s a shivery scene, with the beech tree almost bare of leaves and the mist hanging low in the field behind. I’m hoping that the winter will provide some equally great scenes. I hate to say it because I know it causes problems in the UK …. but I’m hoping for SNOW and lots of it.
